Usage

Per-request configuration

All of the client methods accept an optional RequestOptions object.
This is used if you want to set a correlation ID or if you want to set a per-request BT-API-KEY

import uuid
import basistheory
from basistheory.request_options import RequestOptions

request_options = RequestOptions(api_key="API KEY", correlation_id=uuid.uuid4())

Client Configuration

Each Api client can be configured to use a custom API url and client-wide BT-API-KEY.

import basistheory
from basistheory.api import tokens_api

configuration = basistheory.Configuration(
    host = "https://token-proxy.somedomain.com",
    api_key = "API KEY"
)

with basistheory.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    # Create a token client w/ global configuration for all requests
    token_client = tokens_api.TokensApi(api_client)

Getting Started

Quick example creating a token and then retrieving it.

import uuid
import basistheory
from pprint import pprint
from basistheory.api import tokens_api
from basistheory.model.create_token_request import CreateTokenRequest
from basistheory.request_options import RequestOptions

# Defining client wide api_key
configuration = basistheory.Configuration(
    api_key = "API KEY"
)

with basistheory.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    # Create an instance of the tokens API client
    token_client = tokens_api.TokensApi(api_client)

    # Setting a correlation Id
    request_options = RequestOptions(correlation_id=uuid.uuid4().__str__())

    # Token request object
    request = CreateTokenRequest(type="token", data="My Secret Data")

    try:
        # Creating the token
        created_token = token_client.create(create_token_request=request, request_options=request_options)
        pprint(created_token)

        # Retrieving it (requires read permission on the token type classification and impact level)
        retrieved_token = token_client.get_by_id(id=created_token.id)
        pprint(retrieved_token)
    except basistheory.ApiException as e:
        print("Exception when calling TokensApi: %s\n" % e)
